Actually, Rep. Grijalva (D-AZ) means bigoted or discriminatory when he claims racism, since Mexicans do not constitute a race. In order for that to be true, the civilian patrols must be found to be looking for or stopping only one nationality...Mexicans.
In fact, they are looking for and stopping any person who crosses the border illegally. This includes, but is not limited to, Nicaraguans, Egyptians, Chinese, Polish, Russians, Pakistanis, and Guatemalans. Please note that some of the people who have been detained crossing the border within 15 miles of my home include persons from nations that harbor terrorists.
I anxiously await your response.
OBTW, like dirtboy, my family includes Mexicans with the addition of a new daughter-in-law this weekend.
Now, I will await your answer to the following. Since 76% of the US population is Caucasian, and the GOP receives about 5% of the black vote, virtually none of the feminazi vote, a declining percentage of the higher educated brainwashed vote (at least until reality catches up with them), very little of the anti-WTO vote, a declining percentage of the union vote, less and less of the lavender vote, etc. Some of this is necessary. If you want to see vote drain, just let the GOP abandon its pro-life position and watch a lot of us walk right out.
Question #1: You show me how you put together a winning coalition for gun rights, lower taxes (of the sort that hit people who work with their hands for a living), renewed American morality, and strong national defense (from our actual enemies NOT our neighbors) while stringing the military all along the indefensible Mexican border much less the even longer Canadian border where actual terrorists cross with impunity and not merely people who come from countries of origin of OTHER PEOPLE who are actual terrorists.
Question #2: Shall we build an iron curtain around America? Lay a radioactive cobalt strip along each border (they may cross but they won't live long)? Use air patrols and strafing? Just waht, other than Bubba times 200 is your plan for sealing the border?
Your wife is a fourth generation Mexican? Aren't you glad her folks came here? Don't you wish others well, too?
I have no problem with them learning English and I bet they will and we ought to encourage it to keep them out of the clutches of ethnic poverty pimps. If you don't like the welfare bill, spread it across the country. That would seem reasonable. Better yet, abolish welfare which used to be the conservative idea as to welfare, but for everyone and not just the Mexicans.
Ah, the simplicity of it - you are absolutely dead on accurate! ALSO, it's not vigilante justice, it's militia taking up the slack and doing the job the Federal governement has failed to do.
Clearly, Rep. Grijalva (D-AZ) has a personal problem, that is, being liberal. "Liberal," by definition, means bigoted, mean spirited, etc. (you know, all those things they always call thinking Americans when we dare to disagree with them - their position is intellectually vacuous, so they resort to name-calling, not realizing that they are actually characterizing themselves)! People like Rep. Grijalva (D-AZ) cannot stand the light of truth!
Someone needs to tell this pathetic loser that "illegal," as in "illegal entry" (to the US), must be dealt with, and if not the gov't then the militia (NOT vigilantes) WILL take care of the problem! That's the AMERICAN WAY, and if illegal entrants can't deal with it, maybe they ought to stay home!
Stay vigilent, stay armed, and never trust a muslim or a liberal (both are terrorists, they differ only in technique and weaponry).
